Study in Ukraine
Why Choosing Ukraine
1. Quality of Education
Ukraine is one of Eastern Europe’s leaders in terms of industry, business, and education. Perhaps due to the fact that the country is the largest that falls entirely in Europe (Russia is split between Europe and Asia), the institutes, universities, and schools across the country are recognized worldwide for their academic rigor.
2. No Need for TOEFL or IELTS
Especially for students looking to study English language, the fact that Ukraine does not require foreign students to pass a language examination means that the country is a hub for many new learners of the language. They have the advantage of learning English from the very roots in Ukraine, while in some other countries, they might have to have a certain degree of comprehension in order to even apply for programs.
3. Easy Visa Process
Students from many countries are not even required to obtain a visa before traveling to Ukraine for their studies. However, even those from locations that do need a visa will find that the process is simple and straightforward. See more on this process below under “Visas.”
4. Diversity
Ukraine is an incredibly diverse country in many capacities. Due to its sheer geographical footprint, the country has a diverse set of environments, wildlife, landscapes, and scenery that will inspire students from all backgrounds. From historic cities to peaceful plains, to lively beaches and breath-taking mountains, Ukraine offers adventures around every corner. The people of the country are as diverse as the nature: sophisticated businesspeople cross paths and engage with local farmers and shopkeepers, all of whom likely have historical ties to one of the seven countries touching Ukraine.
5. Modern History
The country of Ukraine is one of the newest on the planet, having been formally recognized only in 1991. Since then, it has made world news for its relationship with Russia as it continues to develop as a young nation. The country is home to a history that is continuing to unfold to this very day and which dates back centuries to ancient times.
Living and Studying in Ukraine
why to choose Ukraine
Cost of living in Ukraine varies widely depending on the region and the city. Naturally, large cities such as Kiev & Odessa have a much higher cost of living than smaller ones such as Lviv, Ternopil, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Lugansk, Ivano-frankivsk, Nikolaev or Kherson. Rural areas are even cheaper, also with much lower costs of labor. Overall, Ukraine has a relatively low cost of living, especially if one is able to replicate a Western salary while living here. According to recent scores, Ukraine was ranked around 70th most costly place on the cost of living globally. A student will need to have about $150 to $ 200 per month available for living costs, above the cost of your tuition.
It is a common misconception by new visitors to think that Kiev is a cheap city. While it is substantially less expensive than many other European capitals, the central part of Kiev contains the same boutiques as large cities such as Moscow, Rome, Paris and others, with prices being approximately the same on the items sold there. Many apartments in the central part of Kiev are also affordable, particularly those located on the main street of Kreschatik and ones containing luxury amenities. However, people who spend an extended period of time in Kiev, learn that in comparison to other European capitals, Kiev is in fact fairly cheap.
If you are considering coming to Ukraine for a prolonged period of time, you may want to consider using our long term rental assistance program or if you are staying a few days to a few weeks, you could consider our short term fully furnished apartment rentals.
Ternopil,Lviv,Ivan-Franskii is cheaper than Kiev for the most part, particularly in regards to apartments (both rentals and sales) except for rentals during July & August when many people go for vacations in the city during the summer months. Real estate as a rule of thumb is about half as expensive as that of Kiev and services and products are typically 15%-20% less expensive than Kiev.
